Hi, I am preparing a course in "Internet Research" and compile a list with (empirical) Internet studies in different areas (e.g. usage, diffusion, e-commerce, education & schools, art & culture, everyday life, e-government ...). It's an introductory course and I would like to introduce the students with current major findings in the diffusion and usage of the Internet in different societal sectors. Is there something comparable with the PEW/Internet-Studies in Europe which is accessible for educational purposes? Can somebody suggest sources for such reports? Thank you in advance Ursula Maier-Rabler __________________________________________ Ass.Prof. Dr. Ursula Maier-Rabler, Academic Director ICT&S Center, University of Salzburg Center for Advanced Studies and Research in Information and Communication Technologies & Society Sigmund-Haffner-Gasse 18 | 5020 Salzburg, Austria phone +43 662 8044 4800 | fax +43 662 6389 4800 info@icts.sbg.ac.at | www.icts.sbg.ac.at __________________________________________
Hi Ursula, I don't know how broadly you want to take the "culture" thread - but in addition to several past publications that have come out of the CATaC (Cultural Attitudes towards Technology and Communication) conferences, e.g.: LIBERATION IN CYBERSPACEOR COMPUTER-MEDIATED COLONIZATION? The Electronic Journal of Communication / Le Revue Electronique de Communication, Volume 12 Numbers 3 & 4, 2002 http://www.cios.org/www/ejc/v12n34.htm Technologies of Despair and Hope: CMC in the Middle East A Special Issue of JCMC Edited by Charles Ess and Fay Sudweeks Vol 8(2 - January) 2003 http://jcmc.indiana.edu/vol8/issue2/ -- there will be two special issues coming out this fall: Culture and Computer-Mediated Communication: Toward New Understandings, Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication,. Vol. 11, No. 1 <http://jcmc.indiana.edu/> (this collects 10 studies that both apply and show the limits of using Hofstede and Hall as frameworks for cross-cultural communication online, ranging from websites to email, group support systems, etc.) Special Issue on Communication,Culture and Praxis, Electronic Journal of Communication/Revue Electronique de Communication, 15(1). <http://www.cios.org/www/ejcmain.htm> (this collects several papers that explore diverse notions of power and how these manifest themselves - or not - in diverse online contexts and with a view towards cultural differences). I suspect that under the principles of fair use I could send you pre-publication versions of the introductions to these (authored by Fay Sudweeks and me - shameless self-promotion, I know) if they would help you get a better sense of their contents. viel Glück! -- charles ess Distinguished Research Professor, Interdisciplinary Studies Drury University 900 N.

I would like to suggest that you may think about internet for research and education. Both the domestic and international dimensions are very interesting to study. You can find out diverse themes of research collaboration via high-speed networks from the links below. 1. Austrian case http://www.aco.net/ http://www.aco.net/local/docform.htm 2. Pan-European http://www.dante.net http://www.geant.net http://www.terena.nl/ 3. US http://www.internet2.edu/ 4. Asia Pacific http://www.apan.net/ 5.
